This video delves into the history and specifications of the 1918 Mauser Tank Gewehr, Germany's first purpose-built anti-tank rifle. Designed in response to the Battle of Cambrai, it's described as a scaled-up Mauser 98 chambered in the powerful 13.2mm TuF cartridge. The rifle was capable of penetrating approximately 20mm of armor at 100 meters, proving effective against World War I tanks. Over 15,000 were manufactured by the war's end. Notably, a significant number of these rifles were acquired by Springfield Armory and played a role in the development of the .50 BMG cartridge.
